After using this mailbox, I have to complain that when the incoming mail was light, it would get stuck in the "fishing-proof chute" and never make it below to the tamper free storage. When the incoming envelopes were larger it usually made it thru.The problem is that the incoming chute is rather small, and also the dimples on the very bottom of the box are rather large and the mail would sometimes stick there as well.I know the mailman is supposed to open the door all the way down and then fit the mail into the chute, but like I said, the chute is rather small and the mailman usually doesn't open it all the way.I solved the problem by actually cutting off 3/4 off the end of incoming chute (I have the tools). I also covered the very bottom dimples with a smooth cardboard so it would slide on that. Now it works.

You may want to look into the original design of this mailbox (7100 series I believe) if you don't get larger packages.

I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this mailbox.

Our wooden post was over 30 years old, so I went ahead and ordered the 4 inch square metal post. I wish I had ordered the box & post together to begin with. I could have saved $50.

The main reason I got this secure mailbox was so I didn't have to keep stopping the mail every time my wife & I wanted to make a jaunt to our beach house. Problem solved.

Secure and very easy to install

Casual Do-It-Yourselfer

After our neighborhood had a problem with mail theft we wanted to upgrade to a secure mailbox. This one is HUGE and very stout, very heavy! It will take amazon packages and that sort of thing too. We put it on our old mailbox wood post which was easy to do with the mounting plate it comes with. Very happy with this purchase!

This is a very well made mail box. It was very easy to install on our existing wooden post.

BEWARE... The "BIG PROBLEM" with this mail box is the USP mail delivery people can't figure out how to use it.

The delivery door must be fully opened to operate and open the internal receiving slot mechanism. If they only open the door part way, which is what they do as they are all in a hurry, the input slot does not fully open and the mail either sits just inside the delivery door or it gets caught half way into the box. When this happens the mail is not secure and can be stolen.

Even after I have personally showed them how this works, they still don't understand. Sorry to say but some of them are not the brightest bulb on earth.

As it is a very sturdy and well made mail box, I am going to continue to use it for awhile longer. It has been in use for about three weeks now and hopefully they will learn how to use it.

If not I will throw it away and buy a mail box which does not have this complicated input door mechanism.

If you need a locking mailbox this is the one to get. Quality is there, delivery was quick and what little assembly I had to do was straight forward. I no longer worry about getting my mail out of the box quickly as this is one secure unit. Probably the only one better would be the Fort Knox box but the size wouldn't allow packages and the price is much more.
